His ears are a bit wide (though one has to be careful not to make him look like Will Smith), and he's got a somewhat sharp and angular chin, but that's about it. He doesn't have a distinctive hairdo like Sarah Palin, he's not really old like John McCain, he's not fat and he doesn't wear glasses. If it were up to me I might be inclined to just use his sunrise icon as a stand-in!

(How do you find this stuff!) And yes, cartoonist do need to figure out how to draw a better Obama. As an aside, I was surprisingly pleased with the way the South Park folks illustrated Obama in this week's hilarious episode... Great link on the Chicago Defender cartoons.
